A member asked:
If i have hsv-1 orally, can i be reinfected with hsv-1 on my genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The fact that you had HSV 1 means it is all over your body. It may not be reinfection if it shows in your genitals. it may just be that it is showing up there. It is also possible that you may be infected with HSV 2 which is more likely to manifest in the genitalia.
